THE REUNION.
MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
LAST EVENING.
The Progress Being Made by the Gentlemen
at the Head Of the Affair Fully
Detailed.

The Executive Committee of the Re-
union held = meeting at the Society of the
Army of West Virginia's headquarters last
evening and discussed a number of places
and propositions for the coming event.
There is no doubt that this reunion will
be the largest and most successful ever
witnessed in the history of the Society,
and every effort is being made towards
that end. The members of the Finance
Committee complain that the retail mer-
chants, who will be the most directly
benefited, have not come to the front
with subscriptions in the liberal manner
that was anticipated, while those who will
gain less by the affair have contributed
most literally TO its success. They say
the retail men have given little or nothing
comparatively, and they would appeal to
them to do better. This is only a reason
able request as the whole city is interested
in making the reunion grand success,
and all those who are to he benefited in a
monetary way should not hesitate to give
freely toward the fund.
At last nights meeting it was decided to
ask Council for the use of the old Court
House building as general headquarters
for the organization. the committee TO stand
all the expense of taking out and replacing
the benches and fixing up the building for
the purpose desired.
The Committee on Grounds reported
that it had appointed J. A. Faris to take
charge of the matter of renting privileges
on the grounds.
Capt Basil T. Bowers, who was present,
was asked to express his views on the ques-
ton of inviting the members of the Army
Signal Corpse TO be present and give an
exhibition of their signals and parapher-
MALTA. There was quite lengthy discus
sion over the matter, and ii was left in the
hands of Capt. Bowers to invite all those
whom he knew to be present and make an
effort 10 get as many together as possible.
Mr.. J. L. Cowden of the Committee on
Printing stated that about all the posters
had been sent out and suggested the ad-
visibility Of having an additional lot
printed, to send TO the surrounding cities
and to the country postOfiices IN the
vicinity. 1t was resolved to have an adj
di;ional 1000 posters printed at the rate
OF $40 for 1000.
1t being the sense of the Committee that
there should I've a display of fire works on
one night of the reunion, Correspond
ing Secretary Cowden was instruct
ed to correspond with manufac-
turers of pyrotechnics and ascer-
tain the probable cost of good display,
including 4 number OF set pieces and re-
port it the Committee. The citizens will
also be asked to contribute their help to-
wards making the display success. Some
other matters were talked over and the
Committee adjourned.

The figures for the children Of school
age in these three wards show a rather
startling variation from the figures given
in 1886, and suggest that something Is
the matter. For instance, the Third ward,

school age, while the Fourth ward, witha
population OF 3,S49-Only GAP greater
had school population of l,7S3, nearly
twice rs great. Again, the Fifth ward,
